ok, it's time to stop doomposting and it's time to start planning for my boomer future Amerimutts, if I return to the fatherland, how easy is it to get into fishing? What sort of time investment am I looking at between commitment and grilling a large mouth bass for supper?

It's really easy

Depends if you plan to stay in a coastal state and if that area has a decent fishery industry. You’ll need a license, a bait ID card, and to be available on most days, but not Sunday.

Come to Madison there's a huge fishing community here!

It's very easy to get into fishing. Plenty of guides online for tying knots, setting up your line and even for how to thread your reel. The biggest thing is picking the right time to fish, usually fishing during the middle of the day is bad but fishing at dawn or dusk is great.

Anyone can fish. River fishing is the most fun. Lake fishing is incredibly boring. Fly fishing is my favorite, takes a little more skill, practice, money, and time. Plus learning to tie flies is quite fun. Would try it all though to find what you enjoy.

Depending on the state you'll have to get a fishing license too and I believe a license to take home fish?

Here in the Pacific Northwest, you can just follow the trout stocking schedule for easy catches

Please don't fish in my apartment complex's pond like all of the minorities who live around me.

The fishing license can cost half as much as a cheap pole. Ive caught plenty of bass with worms, usually need to get a bit out into the water by boat or kayak to get the good ones. I'd say around $100 could catch you your first and I'd plan on a fairly substantial amount of time
